Casanova had snuck into the packlands again, slipping under the noses of the alpha and beta, and now a new male that smelled strangely like the alpha. But he was here for another reason. The pack females were in heat, and well, he couldn't control himself. He had been wandering around the pack lands for a while now, and he had made his way to the moonlight meadow, where he now moved in the shadows, keeping an eye out on the open for any signs of a threatening male or an inviting female. He knew his scent was all over the place, since he had been hanging around here for a while, so if a male approached, he'd need to book it out of there before he got caught. But for now, he was hoping that a female arrived, and one that was welcoming instead of aggressive.

Laek felt good with the pack now, as she had both learned of everyone, and everywhere. She was as proper as a hunter should be. Looking out from the little den she'd sometimes sleep in, she was a bit bored. It wasn't too crazy around the dens this day, and as night was falling, shadows fell along everything. Silverlight was beautiful in every time of day to Laek, she learned in her time here. Her personal favorite places were the springs, and the meadows, both especially in the night. She crawled out of her den and headed in the direction of the meadow, about to enjoy the time of loneliness she desired very rarely.

But yet, today the meadow had a strange feel to them. Laek didn't feel as alone as she'd hoped. Warily, she'd walked a quarter of the way through the meadow when she finally caught his scent. She smiled, knowing that it was only Casanova lurking. "I know you're out there!" she called out as she sat. She swished her tail, slightly worried that they would both get in trouble out here. But she tried to rid her mind of the thought, hopeful to see Casanova again.

Suddenly a scent wafted up into his nose, a female scent. But there was something strangely familiar about this scent, and he smiled, wagging his tail as she called out to him. "Busted." He said, stepping out of the shadows to where she could see him. "Hey there beautiful." He said, surprising himself with the fact that the flirtatious comment that he was so used to dishing out was actually true in his mind, this time. He smiled as he came closer to her, nudging her shoulder and sitting down beside her. "Long time, no see. I've missed you." He said, once again surprised to mean it. But he let the thoughts linger in the back of his mind, looking down at her with a grin as he wagged his tail, simply enjoying the moment.

Laek smiled as he came over and sat beside her. Not only was the meadow beautiful at night, but she would get to spend some time with Casanova, whom she hadn't seen in quite a while. She nuzzled against his neck for a moment before saying, "I've missed you too." Her message was short and simple, but it portrayed her emotion well as they stood there. She rose her head and looked up at him, tilting her head slightly. "But what are you doing here? So deep in pack territory? Aren't you afraid that the Beta and Alpha will find you?" She chuckled lightly as she gave a playful push.

Cas grinned as she asked him about getting caught. "Oh Laek, you know me. Life's no fun if there isn't an aspect of danger and adventure to it." He said, nipping at her ear playfully. It was the scent of the pack females that drew him into the lands, but also the opportunity to see this little female again. He wagged his tail, looking over at her with a smile. "Plus, I'd risk getting caught by a hundred alphas and betas in order to see you again." He added, flashing her a charming grin and tilting his head to the side as he watched the beautiful female beside him. He wasn't at all worried about running into Blitz or Inferno right now, for their scents were very far away, and even if he did, he knew he could likely outrun them. Plus, it could be fairly fun to flee the two males. But for now, he focused on Laek, smiling and licking the base of her ear affectionately as her scent filled his nose.

Laek smiled as she slightly shook her head. The wolf was crazy! But the reason for his risks only made the situation better, somewhat exciting. Laek knew the game they were playing could end terribly for the both of them, but she tried to forget as she flicked her ears. She was just incredibly glad to see him, his handsome figure in the moonlight. She wondered why he wouldn't just encounter the alpha and beta, and just join the pack. But she knew how he was, and wasn't so sure if that would work out the way she pictured it. She buried her nose in her fur before asking, "So how have you been out there?"

He smiled as she buried her nose in his fur, enjoying the closeness of her body to his. When she spoke, he licked the top of her head affectionately and sighed. "Lonely." He said softly, nuzzling her and resting his head over her neck, gently pulling her closer to him in a sort of 'hug'. He closed his eyes as he pressed his nose into her fur, inhaling her scent and smiling as he exhaled. She smelled so wonderful, and he couldn't get enough of being closer to her. Not to mention that all the pack females were in heat and driving the males crazy.

(grrr, sorry it's short)

Laek lightly chuckled as Casanova pulled her closer. He was lonely? Even more reason to join the pack, no? She let herself lean into him, breathing in his scent. "Why don't you stay?" She said quietly after letting a long moment of comfortable silence pass. She rose her head and attempted to look at him lying around her shoulders. But was unsuccessful, so she dealt with his neck, which was all she could see. She gave him a small affectionate lick, burying her nose into his fur once again.

(Mer, mine's short as well.)

Cas sighed softly as Laek spoke of him staying, shaking his head slighlty. "Laek, babe, you know I'd never fit in here." He said softly, nibbling the base of her ear gently as he spoke. "Plus, if you haven't noticed already, I have a big problem with authority." He said, lifting his head to look down at her. There were reasons why he never decided to join, plus, he knew the Beta knew his scent and would kick him out in an instant before he could even ask to join. He didn't know what to tell her, but he knew that she smelled wonderful and everything about her drew him in closer, keeping him from leaving her again. But he knew that he would, how could he stay? It would never work. But for now, he just enjoyed the closeness and the affection, lowering his muzzle to groom her gently and slowly.

Laek sighed as he gave the same reasons he always gave. Why was authority such a problem with him? She never bothered to ask. Why did he have to be such a runner? She would never know. But she did knew he'd leave soon, he'd leave her again. And so she tried to enjoy the moment, letting him groom her fur. She didn't know what to say to him. She'd already sort of tried to get him to stay, and that hadn't worked out. She couldn't ask him again, and she wouldn't plead or beg. That wouldn't be proper. She turned and nudged Casanova before slowly lying down on the ground. She pawed at him to lie down as well.

Cas smiled as she laid down, slowly laying beside her as the stars and moon came up and made the meadow feel all the more romantic. He curled around her, nuzzling her neck and gently nibbling the base of her ear, inhaling her scent and trying his best to stay calm. All the pack females were in heat, and she was driving him crazy, but he managed to control himself well enough. "Laek, it's getting late." He whispered softly, licking the base of her ear before gently nibbling slowly down her neck to her shoulders, his body curled tightly around her, holding her close.

"I know." Laek answered softly as she smiled, leaning over onto his paws as he wrapped himself around her. She was comfortable here in the meadow with him. She would be okay until the next time she saw him, she knew. She looked up at him, and reached up to give him a lick. Then dropped her head back to his paws and closed her eyes, burying her face into his strange fur. "I know it's late, Casanova." She said, mumbling through his fur.

Cas smiled as she rested against him and buried her face in his fur, enjoying the feeling of her against him. "How about we got to my den for the night? It's getting pretty cold out here. The pack won't miss you for one night." He said softly, nuzzling her neck and nudging her encouragingly. There was nothing he wanted more than to get her back to his den, and he definitely didn't want to leave her, not yet. He licked her cheek, slowly getting to his feet and nudging her shoulder. "Come on, they won't even notice you're gone. Plus, I've been wanting to spend more time with you for a long time. I've missed you, Laek. Please don't end this night so soon..." He said, softly pleading with her to go with him, but doing so in a more seductive way than a pathetic one.

Laek smiled, letting out somewhat of a little laugh. She rose to her feet and pushed Casanova, as she quietly debated with herself in her head. She remembered the last time they'd spent a night together, Inferno and Blitz were so worried about her. And she was even closer with the pack now, how would they feel if she was gone for just one night? She didn't want to worry the pack, but she wanted to spend more time with Casanova. She looked, panicked, in the direction of the dens. But she quickly smoothed it over and looked at him, "Why not? Let's go." She rubbed against his side before heading towards the forests near the borders.

Cas frowned as he watched her panicked expression as she looked back at the dens. But he approached her anyways, licking her cheek affectionately and whining softly. When she turned and agreed, and even headed off to the borders, he smiled. His tail wagged as he trotted after her, catching up quickly and nipping playfully at her side as he came up beside her. They weren't far from the borders, and as he walked beside her he turned to lick her neck and face occasionally, excited that she had actually agreed. They crossed the border quickly, reaching one of his dens not too long after. He stopped at the entrance, licking her cheek before entering and waiting for her to join him. It wasn't huge, but still large enough fof him to stand up on his hind legs if he wanted, giving them more than enough room for the both of them to spend the night. "Welcome to one of my dens, my dear." He said softly, sitting down and watching her, smiling as his eyes scanned over her beautiful form.
